How can you? (Oh, that's why you made the throwaway. Maybe I could take your argument more seriously if you used your actual account.)
It's not like operating these centers doesn't cost money. Our party (I'm a registered Democrat, thanks) had to concede this point after letting the situation get as bad as it did by blocking funding for so long.
We have record rates of illegal immigration right now. The answer isn't simply to let everyone through -- there's largely bipartisan support for legal paths to immigration...and also under this presidency we also have (recent) record numbers of legal immigration as well.
How many Republicans do you actually know, because I haven't seen any of them (like in my family or in any of the media they consume) cheering and encouraging putting people in cages. They want deportations and to stop them at the border completely, turning them away.
I'd be interested to know where you live, because here where I live there was virtually no internal Obama criticism that I'm aware of. Even the 20% illegal Section 702 wiretaps and drone campaigns in places we weren't at war with got a pass.

You’re focusing on the credibility of the messenger which can be obfuscated by your emotions and in the political realm by mainstream media. You’re using a pretty reductionist set of tools for vetting a person is age of an anonymized web forum account.
